“There is no greater glory than to die for love” cries Florentino Ariza in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s, Love in the Time of Cholera. No such romance for us today, however. According to the New South Wales state government, an all-encompassing fear of death is what should now drive our passions in the Time of Covid-19.  

The NSW State Government’s Ministry of Love, otherwise known as #Playsafe, cheerfully admits that, due to Covid-19 restrictions, many people have been forced to put their sex lives “firmly on hold.. for the greater good”. But don’t worry, if a warm sense of your ant-like sacrifice for the preservation of the colony isn’t quite sensual enough for your satisfaction, then Playsafe has a whole pandemic’s worth of sexy, Covid-safe tips that will help you put the ‘sin’ back into ‘single-stranded RNA Coronavirus’.
